Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE APOSTLE (8pm Sky Premier) is something of a one-man band - Robert Duvall (right) writes, directs and stars in this portrait of a preacher. But the burden of work does not affect his performance in this Oscar-nominated picture. He turns in a stunning display as a charismatic Pentecostal minister who goes on the run to Louisiana after beating his wife's lover to death with a baseball bat. While waiting to be collared in the Deep South state, he sets up an evangelical church, and lures people to it with his magnetic sermons. Farrah Fawcett (as his wife) and Miranda Richardson (as his love interest) provide solid support.
Tuscany has never looked as good as it does in Kenneth Branagh's sunny and visually ravishing version of Much Ado About Nothing (8pm FilmFour). The director and his then wife, Emma Thompson, play the leads.
